Course content

We encourage applications in all areas of the Graeco-Roman world and its reception in subsequent eras; we have international experts in the fields of literature, philosophy, language and papyrology, and we are keen to set up collaborative PhD research with neighbouring disciplines (from anthropology and archaeology to film studies and economics).

UCL has one of the largest bodies of expertise on the ancient world in the United Kingdom; students have access to staff from the Department of Greek & Latin, the Department of History and the Institute of Archaeology, as well as to staff with related interests in UCL Anthropology, UCL Hebrew & Jewish Studies, the Faculty of Laws, and the Wellcome Centre for the History of Medicine. Major research libraries and institutes are a few minutes' walk away, including the Institute of Classical Studies, the Warburg Institute, the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, the Institute of Historical Research, Senate House Library, the British Library and the British Museum.
